Welcome back to another episode of Thicc Boy Mafia — where good conversations meet wild hypotheticals and deep dives into the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.

Today, we’re hyped to sit down with a true beast on the mats, high-level competitive black belt Michael Kingrey. In this episode, we dive into his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey—how his game has evolved over the years and what it takes to compete at the highest level.

But it’s not just about BJJ. Michael opens up about serious health issues he’s battled and how he’s overcome them with grit, mindset, and purpose. And because it wouldn’t be TBM without a little chaos, we also break down the ultimate matchup: 100 men vs 1 gorilla—and Michael doesn’t hold back on how he thinks it would go down.

This one’s full of insight, laughs, and some powerful moments. So whether you’re here for the technique talk or the madness, you’re in for a ride. Let’s get into it — this is Thicc Boy Mafia with Michael Kingrey.

Welcome back to another episode of Thicc Boy Mafia — where we keep it real, crack some jokes, and talk about life the way only we can. No guests today, just the OG TBM crew catching up and having a good time.

In this episode, we talk about our recent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu promotions—the struggles, the lessons, and what it means to move up in the ranks. We also get into aging, how our bodies are holding up (or breaking down), and what recovery looks like now compared to when we first started training.

Of course, we couldn’t do an episode without talking about our pets—the chaos, the love, and the way they somehow run our lives. It’s a laid-back, fun conversation filled with laughs, reflections, and the usual TBM nonsense.

So sit back, relax, and hang with us—it’s good to be here. This is Thicc Boy Mafia. Let’s get into it!
